If you have an injury, illness, or condition that requires prompt attention but isn't life-threatening or a medical emergency, an urgent care center can provide a welcome alternative to a time-consuming and costly visit to a hospital emergency department. Our centers provide care to walk-in patients for conditions including:
•Strains and sprains: Minor strains and sprains can be addressed by a med
ical professional at an urgent care facility. If you're not sure whether you have a sprain or a fracture, an urgent care clinician can perform an examination and make appropriate treatment recommendations.
•Minor cuts and burns: Cuts and burns that cannot be adequately treated at home can be addressed by urgent care professionals.
•Colds and other respiratory infections: Time is the only true cure for the common cold. Still, a cold with unusually strong or persistent symptoms may warrant a trip to the urgent care center. A clinician can provide recommendations on how to alleviate troublesome symptoms, and can prescribe treatment for other respiratory or related illness, such as bronchitis, sinusitis, and strep throat. Beyond those examples, our urgent care centers can manage a wide array of other common health complaints. If you, a loved one, or someone else you know is experiencing any of the following, dial 911 immediately (do not drive to the hospital yourself):
•Chest pain
•Confusion and dizziness
•Sudden weakness, loss of sensation or paralysis, slurred speech or blurred vision
•Loss of consciousness
•Severe injury, including trauma to the head or spinal cord
•Uncontrollable bleeding
•Any other condition that you feel may be life threatening or represent a significant danger to health
